Exterminators celebrates 20 years in business
View(s):Commemorating its 20-year anniversary, The Exterminators (Pvt) Ltd, Asia’s first and only CarbonNeutral® Pest Management Company renewed its commitment to sustainability for a fifth consecutive year.
For 20 years, The Exterminators has been setting benchmarks within their industry and the SME sector in Sri Lanka and the region by winning many local and international accolades for business, brand, industrial excellence and entrepreneurship. The company is the first pest management company in Sri Lanka to have received ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and OHSAS 18001:2007 certifications.
The CarbonNeutral® certification was awarded by the Sustainable Future Group (SFG), regional verification and certification partner of Natural Capital Partners of the UK – the developer of The CarbonNeutral Protocol. The certification process involved an extensive analysis of the client’s Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and subsequent investment in a local Renewable Energy Project in return for registered Carbon Credits to offset their organizational Carbon Footprint.
The Exterminators had partnered with The Carbon Consulting Company (CCC) – South Asia’s leading provider of integrated sustainability solutions – to accurately measure, manage and reduce their GHG emissions annually, the company said in a media release.
Commenting on the occasion, Marlon Ferreira, CEO/Founder of The Exterminators, remarked “The past 20 years have been extraordinary for Exterminators in terms of business and sustainability. Businesses today are expected to be less harmful, more transparent and to actively participate in making positive changes to improve the environment. On a deeply personal level and as people with great respect for the environment, we believe it is our moral obligation to improve The Exterminators’ sustainability practices to do our part to protect the planet”.
